The appropriateness of ROMEX [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

Baran,
Romex lacks sunlight resistance on the jacketing, is not rated for wet
locations,  and is not rated to 90C.
>From Wiles' Inspector Checklist:
Conductors
 .  Conductor type-USE-2, UF(not a good choice), or SE if exposed
[690-31(b)];  RHW-2, THWN-2, or XHHW-2 in conduit [310-15].  90°C, wet-rated
conductors are necessary.
 .  Conductor insulation rated at 90°C [UL-1703] to allow for operation at
70°C+ near modules and in conduit exposed to sunlight.

Allan @Posi Ener     Gee!
